How are you going to stop spam?
2 comments

We actually met a VC at SXSW this year who asked the same thing. We have a ranking algo - rying to avoid spam the same way Reddit does by only getting the best content promoted. We're thinking of building tools so users accounts time out or a captcha generates if they post too much.
You could start by hooking into Mollom for the time being (mollom.com)
Thanks that's really cool. We're checking it out now.
You probably want to add rel="nofollow" to links until the post has been validated/upvoted enough or something.
Yeah, we were planning in using some of StackOverflows reputation based logic as well, so that will help a lot.
